914-X Series Expansion Cards

6.0
The 914-HDE motherboard is a full multiplexing system capable of supporting up to 8 expansion cards
simultaneously through a multi-gigabit board-to-board expansion connector. A separate backplane card is not
required. Moog Focal has developed a family of compatible expansion cards that allow the user to specify more
signals without adding more fibers. This reduces cost and size as compared to adding media converters or
additional multiplexer cards. The expansion connector has 4 medium speed channels and 4 low speed channels
available.
The expansion connector provides for 21/32" (16.67 mm) spacing between cards when directly stacked together.
For tight spaces and/or larger stacks, Moog Focal can provide high speed ribbon cables to allow cards to sit up to
18" (46 cm) apart. Please refer to Section 10.3 for more information.
